Hi Bill,
the roles are defined at realm level. Frontend and backend applications
have a scope mapping with assigned roles "user" under the menu "Realm
Roles".
Where are your roles defined? At the realm level? At the
application
level? If they are defined at the realm level you need to define a
scope for the application. Go to the admin console. The application
link for your front-end application. Go to the scope menu item and add
the realm roles to the scope for the front-end application> Build and deploy the
preconfigured demo and view the realm in the admin > console. You will see a similar
setup where the "customer-portal" and > "product-portal" apps have
their scope set to the realm level roles.> Scope is the set of roles an application or
oauth client is allowed to > ask for.
